Kalle Mattson Announce Western Canadian Tour Dates With Sunparlour Players

Ottawa’s Kalle Mattson bring acclaimed 2012 release “Lives in Between” back on the road following viral success of “Water Falls” video, continue to prepare 2013 release produced by The Wooden Sky’s GavinGardiner.

In 2012, Kalle Mattson released an EP titled “Lives in Between” on Winnipeg’s Parliament of Trees, embarked on a tour of Eastern Canada, released a video for their song “Water Falls” which quickly went viral, and started recording their third LP with The Wooden Sky’s Gavin Gardiner producing. The five song “Lives in Between” EP was reviewed on Guardian UK, American Songwriter, and Exclaim saying that the EP “…demonstrates what makes Kalle Mattson’s music so engrossing: slack guitar, pop (rock)-and-lock pacing and devil-may-care vocals.”

To promote the EP, the band enlisted the help of high school friend Kevin Parry, who previously made the very successful “Thick as Thieves” video for the band, to create a video for their first single “Water Falls”. “In “Water Falls”, the viewer is sling shot around San Francisco using stop-motion animation on a very large scale in a project coined “Hypno SF”. The video received one hundred thousand views in its first week after a debut on NPR’s All Songs Considered, was named one of the top 10 alternative music videos by Vimeo, and received attention from the likes of The Atlantic, CBS News, Wired, CBC Radio 3, AOL’s Spinner, and had The Huffington Post asking “Is this the coolest music video of 2012?”
